Location of replacement work

Replacement work

To replace the existing wall, crews from Granite Construction will divert Ballinger Creek into a large pipe placed across NE 195th St and close the road to motor vehicle traffic. After the creek is diverted, the gabions will be removed, crews will then excavate the area and install a new retaining wall.

The total project cost is estimated at $505,000 from federal emergency relief and pre-existing state funds.

The work is being done by WSDOT because Ballinger Way is a state highway.
